“I’ve been writing for lifetimes.”
Working with words has always been something deeply connected to my sense of passion and curiosity. For the last decade+, I’ve worked with humans from around the world, of all ages, at different stages in their lives in cultivating their authentic creative expression through the written word. It has been incredible and illuminating. On this page are some of my own words, inspired by life, created to inspire life and all its meaningful possibilities into manifestation. Here, you’ll find poetry, nonfiction, creative + experimental nonfiction, fiction short stories, embodied poetry, and whatever else I want to present. Please enjoy.

The Magic of the Moment
“She lost recollection of where she was, what had happened throughout the day, her plan for the rest of the trip, and submitted the whirlwind and whimsy of this kiss.”
La levedad del ser
“Our friend, the moon / Dances with us / Challenging the dense viscosity of our spirits / To loosen, lengthen, flow / Flow is life.”
Heat-filled Night
“Oh sweet surrender… / Drops of your love stain / my lips like raspberry sorbet.”
What a pleasure
“What a pleasure to transcend the ego, even if only for a bit. / To revel in the pure consciousness of my being; / to explore life in this body / to explore what it means to love in this body…”
